I use an android device and whilst the 4.0 worked well initially, it became unusable due to constant audio drops and skipping so went back to wired. I then heard the 5.0 came out and it has dramatically changed everything. I hardly have an issue and is seamless. If you have an android device, leave the 4.0 and go for the 5.0
I am from India, and bought the CPC200-Tbox Plus directly from the website and would like to mention that it was an amazing experience. It works pretty well for my Hyundai Alcazar and strongly recommend the product. Nikki from Carlinkit was supportive through out the process and ensured, that from the customer relationship standpoint, there is no stone unturned.
very good product fast and efficient very fast in the system good picture I have installed Volkswagen Passat 2019 and it works very good power it is like having two different systems in the car very no too highly recommended You will not regret it
I ordered after watching a very positive UTube review. The response like the delivery was fast and efficient. The Mini2 connected easily and delivers as described. Quality!
I have the last version and this one in 2 vehicles works great. I would suggest only using one phone, thats when I had issues with the other one. great product.
I really like the way it works seamlessly, 5.0 is fast and quick to connect than the previous models. Also really happy with the service the support team provides when there is a question.
I purchased a T-Box android 9 system earlier in the year. It was so clunky and unreliable to use, I was very disappointed with it, this new model is absolutely outstanding and way better to my previous purchase, boots up and connects perfectly every time so far. I wonder if a refund on my first purchase would be to much to ask!
